WGA to hold Mass Rally at NBC Burbank on Friday, November 16

The WGA will hold a mass rally tomorrow at NBC Burbank. Come out and join your fellow Guild members at 2 p.m. to show support for the WGA.

When you arrive at the location, look for the designated Screen Actors Guild staff
member.

NBC Studio 3000 W. Alameda, Burbank
2
p.m.

- No WGA strike location in New York -

REMINDER:
Please stay at studio locations, and do not join picketers at
on-location sites. Screen Actors Guild is not condoning or participating in
disruption and/or attempts to shut down location shoots.

It
is critical that SAG picket signs not be displayed at any locations other than
the appropriate sites at the studios and networks.

If you
are contracted to work on a television series or motion picture that continues
to produce while the WGA is on strike, you are obligated by your personal
service agreement and the “No Strike” clause in our collective bargaining
agreements to go to work. You can continue to audition for work and accept new
work if you choose to do so.

Screen Actors Guild members
should not perform the duties covered by WGA contracts. Simply stated, you
should not write anything normally written by striking WGA writers.

Finally,
and most importantly, we must support our fellow SAG members on every set even
if they have to cross a picket line to get to work. They are simply following
the advice of their union and honoring their contract. It is not reasonable to
expect SAG cast members to risk the potentially enormous personal liability
that may flow from refusing to work in the absence of a SAG strike. Please
note, the WGA contract includes a similar “No Strike” clause and writers would
be bound to the same rules as you are if another union were striking.

IMPORTANT
NOTE: We have also set up a toll-free Screen Actors Guild WGA strike
information hotline number for questions regarding work rules and picket line
locations. Through this hotline number, you can get up-to-the-minute
information on work rules, picket line locations and help with other questions.
